My name is Maria Belen, I met the Backstreet at age 7, with Everybody, I loved watching the video on TV, in 1998 I saw them at the Festival and I loved him but could not complete.My parents gave me Backstreet Boys and Black & Blue, but my sister, who was a little girl at that time broke my CDs and I was traumatized, I couldn’t hear them for a long time. I went back to listen for an aunt who had the ChapterOne, and revived my love… When I read that was Never Gone I went every day to Feria del Disco asking until I bought it, with Unbreakable as well, and when I saw them live in 2009 I felt and feel that this day was the happiest day of my life, and the second was when I saw them in the SoundCheck, take their hand and Nick’s hand with interlaced mine. They’re the most beautiful men in the world, and the best, ARE PEOPLE! so cute, friendly, humble, everything… The smiles they had the time to greet each of the girls is enviable, they have so much love to give their fans… KTBSPA!

For me was 12 long years of waiting and finally on February 26, 2011, my biggest dream came true. The only thing I have to say when I was with the Backstreet Boys and talked with them is priceless! I love them and are very special to me. Now that I met them, I gonna go to all SC. So amazing! It’s an experience unique to meet the boys!

When the concert was going to meet & greet although it was somewhat chaotic with theitem of clothing when he was almost finished I see them enter the room and saw a shirtred, it was clear to Brian… And in those minutes, my heart bursting with happiness. Because when I bought the entrance I was told that Brian never attends these events,and as the contract only states that are 3 to attend is impossible for him outside, but tomy great luck for the state of rehabilitation of Alex, the third BSB was selected to goBrian: D, and I was really happy happy. I shoot with Howie, and Nick also asked for an autograph, but most of the night I spendto watch Brian, I also asked a few autographs and photos, which he agreed withoutproblems, so a hug and kiss each time. It was the best night of my life!

First story
This is the story about how I’m bsb fan: My dad was watching the tv and he screamed my name, so I ran to his room and I asking what he wants… He asked me who were those guys who sang that song on the tv, he was watching “Get Down”, I told him that I didn’t know them. Days after I was with my cousin Isabel and the video played again on tv, I ask her if she knew them, she told me that  they were the Backstreet Boys, I said “what?” my English was poor at that time >.<  I told her that my dad asked me about them and that I like that little blond, Nick. She said to me that she likes the told one, Kev; we didn’t know their names in that time. So since that day I started to collect everything about them.
Thanks to my dad and my cousin I love the BSB since 1997. 
Second story (Photo 1)
The day I met them in person: They come to my city Puebla for the first time on March 14th 2008. They arrived on march 13th, Nick was the only one who came out the front door, when I saw him I was like a stone, I barely speak, I couldn’t believe it! He said hi to all of us who were there.  The next day I went to the soundcheck, I won on the fc, when it was the photo time shake hands to all the boys, it was amazing to have my fav group in front of me! And saw them so close! I never going to forget this moment. In the concert I was on first row for the first time too! I love that venue cuz u can have them so close to u, the stage is small! I shake hands again with all of them. I went to see them in Mexico City, I bought my vip (which in that time included: ticket, sc, individual pic and one thing to signed, it cost around $200 dlls all of it! ) in that concert I was on first row too, Howie held my hand singing to me the bridge of “Any Other Way” and AJ took my balloon, read it, kissed it and he gave it back to me. I love this year!
Third story (Photo 2)
In this year 2011 I went to the concert of Guadalajara, Mex. I was on first row again! Thanks to Almiuxita. It was the first time that I saw the concert, before that I decide not to watch anything about it, so when they sang ”We’ve Got It Going On”  I cried like a baby! It was the best concert so far…but no!  Nick kissed my hand at the end of As Long as You Love Me and said “Gracias Chica”…  I felt my hand wet, I didn’t let my hand dried so I licked it! >.< Later my friend and I showed to Nick our “I’m Taking Off” cd, he smiled at us, at the beginning of Bye Bye Love he approach to us, he took my cd, signed it and kissed it! He made my night so much better! Then Howie and Brian signed my BSB cd. Another best concert ever! In Mexico I kissed them: Howie, Brian and Nick (AJ was sick) the concert was ok but the next day the shake hands and signed (only Howie and AJ) outside of their hotel, I got a pic with Howie, my first one good without pay anything >.<
I love to meet in person, new friends, old friends in each concert!

My name is Stephanie, I&#8217;m 14 years old &amp; I love the Backstreet Boys. I started listening to their songs &amp; their videos &amp; just fell in love with their amazing talent &amp; THEM. The day they arrived to Panama I went to the airport. Waited &amp; waited until I saw them SO CLOSE. The first things I saw were 2 blue points, blue as the ocean: NICK&#8217;S EYES. They&#8217;re way more gorgeous in person. I went out and Nick looked, waved &amp; smiled at me being in his van (He probably won&#8217;t remember but I WILL, forever &amp; ever) At the concert, AJ waved &amp; Brian looked at me. I enjoyed it from the first to the last minute. Best concert ever! Singing to every song, and screaming their names.. definitely one of the BEST experiences I&#8217;ve ever had &lt;3.

The Backstreet Boys&#8230; I think they’re the band that have been present in my life since age 7&#8230; Although the time which was fundamental was between 1999 and 2000. In 1999 I was at the hospital for a &#8220;male disease&#8221; (¬¬ Unlucky) and remember in the morning always sounded &#8220;Larger Than Life&#8221; at about 6:30 in LA RED (Chilean TV Channel) and I sang it! In 2000 I had heart surgery, there &#8220;Millennium&#8221; had it on cassette and listened to a lot of &#8220;I Want It That Way&#8221; and &#8220;Show Me Meaning Of Being Lonely, &#8220;in fact in the hospital room I did a concert singing all &#8220;Millennium&#8221;&#8230; They are my life. I’m a rocker girl, but they’re my guilty pleasure&#8230; And they’ll be forever.

The summer of 2009 was very special. The last time they were here was 11 years ago. Those years were very different, love and hate, but when I knew they came back, I did everything I could for my teenage dream come true. I work so I could buy tickets immediately. The day before of the concert, I cut a big heart and of course to prepare a banner for my favourite blond: &#8220;Nick you are my fire&#8221;, unfamiliar words. In the concert, he looked in the direction where I was, and I was under the illusion that he had read. But it was unlikely. I waited two years and again I fought with all weapons for to be closer. After a long run, the grid was the best proof that I was there, right in front of them, and of course, in my hands, the same banner two years ago had given me the ultimate happiness. He smiled and he confirmed to me that as I expected. He looked at me where I was and he read the five words on the pink banner.

Let me just start out by saying that I&#8217;ve been a huge fan since I was 8 (1997).This was my very first time meeting them and the second time seeing them in concert. I was so nervous but the guys were so nice. I stood for 7 hours straight that day and don&#8217;t regret any second of it. Can&#8217;t wait to see them again this summer!

My most Beautiful day in my life is 2.7.2010 in Japan.Nick came to my city Osaka Japan for his solo promo tour kicking off. I caught him at the station when he arrived in Osaka and I finally took with him this pic.But there&#8217;s more great experiences in the next two shows!I had seat in front row like touching elbow on the stage. He was holding my hands and looking deep in my eyes and directly singing to me many times. I was almost falling down at the time.Next show, he recognized me as same face in front row,and he looked my name on my sign board and called my name face to face out of mic when his singing So Far Away. I couldn&#8217;t breath the moment. End of the show he lowered his head barely touching on my shoulder and singing to my ear part of Straight Through My Heart.I&#8217;ll never forget the day till end of my life. And I hope Bacskstreet Boys will be forever and I&#8217;ll get more beautiful moment with them! I live for loving the Backstreet Boys.Their music is my everything.
I love you guys, 4ever!!

The Backstreet Boys and Me in Frankfurt, Germany.

I’m 23, and I’ve been a fan since I was like 11, A LIFE TIME…
Last march (March 16th if you want the date) I finally saw my dream coming true…  I went to Mexico’s City sound check, it happened so fast that I can barely remember, but thinking about that feeling, well, it really makes my day.
At first, everything was so weird; I wasn’t able to understand what was going on… I mean, in my dreams it was like SO different LOL but after a while, it all started to match… I’ve never seen the boys that close, just in my dreams and also in some stories that I made when I was a teenager; the boys sang two songs with their beautiful angel voices and then answered one question each (they actually answered three questions because AJ wasn’t there, he felt sick), and at the end… my time came, the time for the pictures, for the prove that I wasn’t dreaming; security guys (form the venue) were telling us that we weren’t able to kiss them or hug them, I mean… WHAT WAS THAT??!! But I had a plan, I was going to ask Nick for a kiss, so when my turn came, I said hello to Brian and Howie (I have no other words to describe them than GORGEOUS) and then… the man of my dreams, Nickolas (I love how Nickolas sounds) he was so sweet, they all greeted me with a smile, but Nick’s cute smile, is something that I’ll never forget, so I did it… I just said, “Nick, please, give me a kiss”, so he reached to me and then… I gave him a kiss on his cheek; he smiled at me, and said “Your photo!” I turned around (still holding his hand), and Justin took the famous photo…
Then it was my time to leave… and so I did… smiling like a child who had just met Mickey Mouse, my life time dream came true, I kissed Nick Carter and I met the other guys… I was done… but then, it was time for me to pick up my tickets for the show (they were at the box office) and there was another surprise waiting for me… FIRST ROW SEATS!!! I felt so lucky that day… It makes me happy even writing it… you can imagine how the show was, AMAZING, Howie smiled at me a couple of times, he did his “Howie face” that I love and I touched Nick’s hand during the show… I’ve been thinking how to call that day, it has to have a special name, and the only name I can think of is “THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE”, because it truly was…
By the way, I brought a present for Nick to the sound check but I was so excited that when I left, I realized that I didn’t give it to my love!!! So I have right here with me… 
 I hope you enjoyed my story, a bit long, but I really tried to make it smaller, it’s just that words started to came out…
Love
